’Hehe, maybe the System really loves me...’

Quinn expected some kind of grand effect, but the System stayed silent.

"Jokes aside... let’s see what rewards I got."

Quinn opened the inventory, eager to see his rewards.

The same game-like storage interface appeared, with boxes lined up in rows. A few at the very top were filled, while the vast majority remained empty.

Quinn then clicked on the Shop Coins, wanting to know how many points he had accumulated.

[Shop Coins: 10 SC]

"Oh... what a small amount! Can I even buy a single morsel with this pitiful number?"

Quinn was still a bit confused. The quest he had received and completed hadn’t stated the exact amount he would gain, but he speculated that it was related to the locked feature of the Shop.

Still, he didn’t dwell on it too much. He still had a Tier-2 skill and an artifact to claim!

Ting!

[Tier-2 Skill: Please choose 1]

Blink – Rank B+

Shadowmeld – Rank B

Overclock – Rank B

[Blink - The user compresses space for a fraction of a second, vanishing from their current position and reappearing elsewhere in an instant. Blink leaves behind a faint distortion and an afterimage, making it difficult for enemies to track the movement.]

[Mana Consumption]:10 mana per use]

"Whoa... this skill is quite good!" Quinn nodded repeatedly after reading the description. It was definitely interesting; he could already imagine blinking from one spot to another!

Curious about the others, Quinn held off on selecting it immediately so he could read the remaining descriptions.

Ting!

[Shadowmeld- The user sinks into darkness, blending their presence with shadows and suppressing sound, aura, and even killing intent. While Shadowmeld is active, the user becomes extremely difficult to detect unless the enemy has enhanced senses or light-based abilities.]

[Mana Consumption: 10 mana per minute]

"Hmm... this skill is almost like Cloaking, but a much better version. The suppression of both aura and killing intent makes it incredibly dangerous perfect for assassination. A very good skill." Quinn felt a little conflicted. These options were definitely the best of the best among Tier-2 skills.

It made him quite curious about how the System selected these skills, or how it even managed to acquire them. However, he didn’t have the power to uncover those kinds of secrets yet, so it was better to swallow his curiosity.

Last but not least...

Ting!

[Overclock - The user forces their muscles, nerves, and reflexes into overdrive, dramatically increasing physical performance. Movements become faster, strikes hit harder, and reaction times sharpen to their absolute limits. However, this unnatural boost places extreme strain on the body.]

[Mana Consumption: 100 mana (Can activate once every 3 days]

"Oh... this skill is quite barbaric. A last-ditch attempt to survive in a crucial moment... well, too bad I’m not a fan of making a last stand."

Quinn decided against Overclock right away. Reliability was a major factor for him, and Overclock completely failed that criteria.

"Hmm... so only these two skills remain."

...

After a moment of thought, Quinn decided to select Blink and discarded Shadowmeld. He wouldn’t be able to use Shadowmeld while fighting in the colosseum anyway, since not a single shadow could be found in that accursed place! The blinding lights from above made the skill useless, and since Lyra already had Cloaking, it was better to pick the most reliable option for himself.

Blink was the perfect choice. Not only could he instantly reposition himself, but he could also use it for surprise attacks!

Imagine seeing a dreadful punch coming straight for your face the very second the host shouted that the battle had begun!

Still, it was quite comical that the skill shared the exact name of the being he had just killed. It was crazy how fate could create such absurd coincidences.

Ting!

[Blink skill selected.]

A book appeared right in front of Quinn, floating just like the first time he had received a skill.

A moment later, the knowledge flowed straight into his head, fully absorbing within seconds. Just thinking about how Quinn could learn any skill as easily as breathing would surely make those who trained bitterly for years cough up blood!

’Hoh... that really was magical.’

Once the process was complete, Quinn quickly opened his status screen and saw the new skill embedded right below Severing Cut.

"Hehe... time to sleep! Let’s check the artifact tomorrow; it can wait."

Quinn cleaned up the mess Alice had made, even gently wiping her body down with some fresh towels.

...

’What a life... having two busty MILFs sleeping soundly on either side of me is truly a dream.’

Quinn pulled both of them closer to make them more comfortable. Unconsciously, they slipped their arms around him, hugging him tight.

---

Morning came.

"Hmmm...?"

Quinn opened his groggy eyes only to find Lyra actively sucking his monstrous cock! Meanwhile, Alice was still clinging to his arm, her face resting peacefully against his chest.

Guck... guck... guck... slurp... slurp...

"Hehe... surprised to see me doing this?"

Quinn nodded repeatedly. Waking up to Lyra giving him head was definitely not something he had expected!

"Slurp... do you like your surprise morning service?" Lyra asked, pausing to lick his balls.

’Argh, you are the best, Lyra! Suck it harder!’

Quinn even closed his eyes after experiencing the ultimate pleasure just after waking up!

’Hehe, you are really hopeless, Quinn... slurp.’ Lyra said while sucking everything! She was really hungry!
